One day, we were contacted by a young businessman who had bought his grandparents’ house. He had only recently bought it and it was clear that he had an emotional attachment to the space. Attached to those four walls were a collection of souvenirs and memories from his childhood. But there was one drawback that bothered the most recent owner of the house. Both grandparents had died of cancer in the same house. His grandmother had lung cancer and his grandfather had intestinal cancer.

The integrative architecture project begins with an initial site visit. There, we found two large spaces where, from the interior walls, there was only the residual mark of their presence, drawn on the old floor.

During the geobiological study, we detected a stream of groundwater running through the entire building. We also realized that this nefarious area was present in some of the old rooms, especially in one of them.

At the first opportunity, we asked the owner:
– “Where did your grandparents sleep?”
He was surprised by the results of the geobiological study and simply replied:
– “Right there, where the danger zone is marked.”

In conclusion, the couple slept for several consecutive years with the headboard resting on a geopathic zone. In other words, the place where the radiation hit hardest was the head, despite the fact that the cancer manifested itself in the grandmother’s lungs and the grandfather’s intestines.

In an informal conversation about the daily lives of his loved ones, the businessman recounts the endless hours (every day, year after year) spent by his grandmother by an old wood-burning stove similar to a fireplace, which, as we know, produces high levels of carbon monoxide and many other compounds that are harmful to health. In addition, coming from the earth’s subsoil, we detected the presence of high levels of environmental radioactivity, coming from the radon gas released by the subsoil, which is “rich” essentially in granite.

Grandma soon added three sources of environmental contamination to her daily life that weakened her lungs: telluric radiation from the underground water stream, carbon monoxide produced by the wood-burning stove and radioactivity (radon gas) from the granite soil.

As for his grandfather, we only know that he died of intestinal cancer. This gentleman was exposed to a source of telluric radiation with the greatest incidence on his head and developed intestinal cancer. In fact, this is a very common situation, due to the fact that this is the most fragile organ, its “Achilles heel”.

Once the problem has been detected, it’s easy to avoid. In the development of the project, this area of high telluric radiation was converted into circulation and storage spaces in order to avoid its influence on long-stay areas. The building will be adequately insulated, ventilated and prepared to eliminate or mitigate environmental radioactivity.

This is how a healthy house is reborn, keeping the memories of a family in its old walls.
